Your best bet is to look for a used set. I've never heard of anyone reproducing these parts for a 1-ton.
Bed sides, the running boards and the curved panel that goes between are the primary differences in the body parts. The frame is longer on the 1-ton.
I don't know specifically on a '48, but by '54 the 1-ton had a completely open driveline. I'm pretty sure the '49 I took apart a while back was comletely open also, though I don't know that it was original.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
